And answering the argument that the rule did not apply where the service had not commenced, although there was an existing contract, the learned judge says: “I think that the relation of master and servant subsists sufficiently for the purpose of such an action during the time for which there is in existence a binding contract of hiring and service between the parties.” Erle J. states the general principle thus: “He who maliciously procures a damage to another by violation of his right ought to be made to indemnify, and that whether he procures an actionable wrong or a breach of contract.” An employer may discharge a workman (with whom he has no contract), or may refuse to employ one from the most mistaken, capricious, malicious, or morally reprehensible motives that can be conceived, but the workman has no right of action against him.

In my subsequent remarks the word 'right' will, as far as possible, always be used in the above sense; and it is the more necessary to insist on this as during the argument at your
Lordship's bar it was frequently used in a much wider and more indefinite sense. Thus it was said that a man has a

The House of Lords held by a majority (Lord Watson, Lord
Herschell, Lord Macnaghten, Lord Shand, Lord Davey, and Lord James) that even though there was a malicious motive, this could not render the conduct unlawful, because the effect actually complained of (not rehiring) was in itself entirely
